The Labyrinth Rail Covers by Langdon Skunkworx are designed to manage the wires associated with the lights, lasers, thermal imagers, and other enablers that are common to modern tactical firearms while also insulating you from the heat of firing. The patent-pending Labyrinth Cable Management system allows you to configure your wires without tools and can manage both short and long cable lengths. The cable texture creates an air gap between your hand and the rail, which minimizes heat transfer to your hand when the firearm is hot and also provides a non-slip grip that works well in any environment. The Labyrinth rail covers can be trimmed with scissors to customize the length based on your needs.

The Labyrinth Rail Covers are made from a durable rubber-like material and are available to fit both MLOK and M1913 rails
 


Diamondback Firearms expanded its SDR revolver lineup in 2025 with a new compact version chambered in 9 mm Luger. The revolver makes use of a short, 2" barrel and has a six-round cylinder that uses moon clips to easily load and remove spent cartridges. A push-button, captured cylinder crane allows users to quickly and easily remove the cylinder for cleaning. Diamondback also has a 3"-barreled model available in 2025, as well as an all-black model.
